LetsGoOakland Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 For 2004, the overlays and camera mods did not work. The overlays would be botched in the corner and occassionally an ESPN logo would show up. I probably did something wrong but still, jacked my sh!t up until I removed it.

The H Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Are you talking about the PC version??? if so, that's weird. I used several (at least 10) different camera mods combined with my favourite overlays and they worked all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGoOakland Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Yeah for PC. It was probably my error in installing them. Oh well, 2005 is out. By the way, does this mean people are uninstalling 2004? I am looking to invest in purchasing another hard drive or two to use as disk drives for my music and gaming. Any suggestions?

The H Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 My MVP 2004 is now R.I.P. in its box, hehe. As for HDD suggestions, give me a little info about your current setup (Intel or AMD, motherboard model, current HDD info) and I'll let you know what's the best deal for you.

LetsGoOakland Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Oh, wow. I am not one with the technical issues. I will tell you what I know about my computer. Dell 8200 Desktop Pentium 4 I believe (purchases new from Dell in summer 2002, if that helps) 80GB hard drive What else do you need to know and how do I find out what I have?

The H Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 That's a Dell Dimension, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGoOakland Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Yeah. Is there a cmd input that I could do to find the specs of my computer? SF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The H Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Don't worry, is not necessary. For that model, you can only go with ATA harddrives. There are several good deals going on. If you don't like to deal with rebates, this is a very good one: Seagate Barracuda 200GB 7200RPM Internal ATA/100 Hard Drive It is $121.99 (no tax unless if bought from California) with shipping. Specs: 200GB, ATA100, 7200rpm, 8MB Cache. It has a 5 year warranty from the Manufacturer (the industry's longest warranty period for this kind of drives). If rebates are no problem, then go for this one: Seagate Barracuda 160GB 7200RPM Internal ATA/100 Hard Drive It is $69.99 (plus tax), with shipping, after a $10 instant rebate and a $50 Mail-in-rebate from the Manufacturer. Specs: 160GB, ATA100, 7200rpm, 8MB Cache. It has a 5 year warranty from the Manufacturer (the industry's longest warranty period for this kind of drives). Those, for me, are the best options out there in terms of price, features, performance, reliability and warranty, all combined. There may be HDD priced a little cheaper, but the peace of mind of such a long warranty is a deal breaker for me, especially if the user is not too tech-savvy (no pun intended). I deal with this stuff in a daily basis as part of my job as an IT Manager. For me, reliability and warranty are very important and Seagate offers both. If you have any other questions, please feel free to post them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGoOakland Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I will definitely check those out. I have installed and removed hard drives on my home computer that the family shares back home in California. Does it come with the necessary cable to connect it to the (circuit/mother)board?

The H Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 The 160GB does, as it is a Retail Boxed version. The 200GB doesn't... but, are you going to replace your existing 80GB disk or you just want to add an extra disk? If you just want to add one, you should first check your current HDD cable as it may be able to connect a second device. If not, you can get a cable like that in any computer store (Fry's, CompUSA, BestBuy, CircuitCity) for like $1.50 or so (standard, no-frills IDE cable) or even for free, if you ask the Tech-support geeks that work there (they may be able to give you one).

LetsGoOakland Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I'd love to add an extra disk if possible. I am a neat freak and I would like to put my non-essentials that grow daily in size (games, music) onto one disk and my school work and main programs on another disk. The large disk space would be perfect for the games. I would like to keep MVP 2004 on my computer if I could. Plus, I have over 3,000 songs that I use for my iPod mini. Thanks for all your help H.

The H Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 OK, if it is possible, check if your current cable has two plugs for two separate devices. That way we'll know if you need an extra cable or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGoOakland Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I will have to crack this baby up some other time but since they sound pretty cheap anyhow, I don't mind shelling out the few extra dollars for a cable I might already have. No big deal. I could always return it. Thanks again, man. SF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
